South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has issued a warning that North Korea may attempt to disrupt the upcoming April elections in South Korea through various provocations. These potential disruptions include armed actions near the border, drone intrusions, cyber attacks, or the spread of fake news. AndrewIYeo of BrookingsInst notes that a more belligerent North Korea will take up additional bandwidth in Washington and Seoul, especially considering it is an important election year for both countries.
